Mario Andretti
1979 Watkins Glen GP

I managed to create a career that centered around the things that really excited me. It started very early. I was
shooting professional sports starting in high school and focused on motorsports, yacht racing and alpine skiing.
This image of the World Champion as he sat in the pits at Watkins Glen tells so much. Only four hands as
compared to today's endless count. And plug-in communications. You can see from the image that this is truly
a close-up, not a telephoto shot from afar. I was straddling the nose of his car. Mario wasn't the only one who
was fast that day!
